He is constantly training and developing not only himself, but his fighting style and expanding it internationally on all areas of self defense and urban survival.
Finally he has appeared on numerous Martial Arts shows such as Inside Martial Arts TV, Blackbelt TV,TRS Direct and a number of online publications, Martial Arts Supershows.
His mission is a simple one - To promote and train individuals in the most effective, devastating self defense system out today and using Bruce Lee's Philosophy "using NO WAY AS A WAY."
Tommy will always consider himself a student since many systems have yet been explored, and to teach a CONCEPT art one must always be open to new ideas and methods.
